KK Chat - June 24, 2001, pt. 2

[17:33:01] <@Jessie> bye Mike
[17:33:05] <@Jessie> Hello the_Duck
[17:33:06] * Kiri` locks shiral in her portal with kelric.. ;)
[17:33:11] <@Tika> I was born here in Atlanta, KK... we moved back to be closer to my family, although I question the wisdom of that move every day *sigh*
[17:33:12] <@Bynw> Hi Donald
[17:33:12] <Rambart20> later mike
[17:33:20] <@KK> Maybe you just can't get into a trapped Portal if it's already occupied, just like a real trap.
[17:33:26] * Rambart20 snickers
[17:33:31] <@Jessie> thanks
[17:33:33] <Mike> Bye! *waves to all his friends and vanishes*
[17:33:36] *** Parts: Mike
[17:33:51] <Richenda> morning, duck?
[17:33:57] <Kiri`> yeah. he's down under
[17:34:02] <@Jessie> Katherine: is the 1st Childe Morgan book still expected to be released in 2002?
[17:34:03] <Kelos_al-Hazar> He's an Aussie...LLOL!
[17:34:04] <Kiri`> at least i think he is..
[17:34:28] <the_Duck> just coming up to 6:30 am - haven't slept to well so here i am
[17:34:47] <@KK> I expect so--provided I get it in by the end of the year. It's actually due in September/October, but no way will it be finished by then.
[17:34:57] <Richenda> see any snakes today??
[17:35:24] <@KK> On the other hand, Scott is away for 3 weeks, so I hope to get <lots> done with my "attractive nuisance" out of the house.
[17:35:24] <Richenda> i saw one, luckily only one
[17:35:28] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Donald, you're 13 hours behind(?) me...it's 17:35 here.
[17:35:41] <Rambart20> same here
[17:35:50] <Kiri`> i think he' like NZ.. ahead a day
[17:35:51] <@KK> Of course, I'm contending with builders....
[17:36:11] <Kelos_al-Hazar> That'd be 11 hours ahead, then.
[17:36:12] <the_Duck> please kelos - i'm ahead of you guys - like katherine :)
[17:36:12] * Kiri` still wants to know if KK will be writing in the lovely new bath they just finished ;)
[17:36:13] <Rambart20> I thought you were done with the builders KK
[17:36:20] <@Bynw> he's ahead... the Duck is on Monday already
[17:36:21] <the_Duck> its already tomorrow here :)
[17:36:34] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Heheh...Ok, ok! :))
[17:36:40] <@KK> No, Kiri, because it would drown my new laptop.
[17:36:43] <Richenda> do you have to work?
[17:36:43] <Rambart20> will it still be tommorrow once we get there
[17:36:44] <Kiri`> i guess that means he' actually in our future *grinning*
[17:37:05] * the_Duck thinks we could make kk's laptop splashproof <BEG>
[17:37:05] * Kiri` strangles her scottish dyslexic keyboard.
[17:37:09] <@Tika> probably the day after tomorrw, Rambart ;)
[17:37:17] <@Shiral> You're still contending with Builders, KK?
[17:37:25] <@Tika> unless we find a portal someplace *grin*
[17:37:26] <Kiri`> plastic film donald? ;)
[17:37:40] <Rambart20> something like tommorrow yesterday
[17:37:46] <@KK> Well, yes, Shiral, but we're making progress. I might even get one bath mostly finished this week.
[17:38:01] <@Shiral> The projects never end at Holybrooke.<G>
[17:38:07] <@KK> And we found the missing soil pipe exit in the back guest bathroom/
[17:38:11] <DianeK> Sounds better than the kitchen, KK
[17:38:17] <Kiri`> duck - can you surf? i'm garnering opinions...
[17:38:19] <@KK> My plumber was pleased--Kenny MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
[17:38:20] *** Quits: Bynw (Connection reset by peer)
[17:38:20] <Richenda> my friends that just moved have three bathrooms and two of them don't work
[17:38:32] <Kiri`> what color is your bath KK?
[17:38:33] <@KK> Ack, peer booted Bynw.
[17:38:37] <Rambart20> their can be only one
[17:38:46] * Tika drags peer outside and teaches him a lesson
[17:39:01] <Golux> Okay, now I have been quiet because of the begging of Miss Kiri`. Here are photos from Rob's visit. I have not made an album like this before. Captions to follow. Suggestions wellcome. http://photomail.photoworks.com/sharing/album.asp?Key=2837722806390609
[17:39:04] <Kelos_al-Hazar> LOL! Tika beat me to beating up Peer.
[17:39:05] * Kiri` steals peers boots again..
[17:39:05] * Kiri` hides them under irc..
[17:39:10] <@KK> The fixtures are a pale moss green. White would be better, but far more expensive.
[17:39:10] <Richenda> not when you have ten people in your family
[17:39:44] <@Shiral> Boy, talk about a line for the bathroom!
[17:39:48] <Richenda> yep
[17:40:01] <Rambart20> that is small potatos trust me
[17:40:08] <Richenda> there are only nine people in my fam and we have two bathrooms
[17:40:16] <@Jessie> potatoes stand in line for the bathroom?
[17:40:25] * Jessie thinks they don't in Missouri
[17:40:25] <@Shiral> All the time, Jessie.
[17:40:27] <Rambart20> in this house yes
[17:40:32] *** Quits: Kiri` (Connection reset by peer)
[17:40:43] <@KK> Well, we'll have 4 1/2 for two full-time people and lots of occasional visitors.
[17:40:44] <@Shiral> She shouldn't have tried to hide Peer's boots!
[17:40:47] <DianeK> How many, Bart?
[17:40:48] * great_hooded_one raises his hand and a cloud of locusts swarms towards an unsuspecting Peer
[17:41:01] <@KK> Yay, Hood!
[17:41:03] <@Tika> hehehe thanks GHO
[17:41:08] <@Shiral> I have one, but then there's only one of me!
[17:41:22] <Rambart20> at present we have five kids , six adults including myself, two dogs two cats
[17:41:23] <the_Duck> and the cat loos too
[17:41:24] <Richenda> what does your house look like KK?
[17:41:37] <zouron> wb bynw
[17:41:40] <great_hooded_one> hey, when your namesake's master is the Lord of the Locusts...
[17:41:58] *** Joins: Bynw 
[17:41:59] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Bynw
[17:41:59] <@Jessie> wb bynw
[17:42:00] *** Joins: Kiri` 
[17:42:06] <@KK> Look at the website, Richenda--or picture Toad Hall! It's a gothic revival baronial house.
[17:42:06] * Kiri` curses at blue streak at her ISP
[17:42:08] <Richenda> wb
[17:42:10] <@Jessie> wb Kiri
[17:42:20] <Rambart20> hey kiri
[17:42:33] * Kelos_al-Hazar puts on the cold-resistant gloves, opens the chest freezer....hoists out the frozen tigershark, and slaps Peer upside the head. Peer takes an unscheduled flight, sans airplane.
[17:42:34] <Richenda> what website?
[17:42:39] <Kiri`> re
[17:42:41] * Bynw mind-rips Peer with a burst of power never before witnessed in all of the 11 Kingdoms
[17:42:46] *** Parts: zouron
[17:42:48] <@Jessie> Richenda: Deryni Destinations
[17:42:52] <Richenda> ah
[17:42:57] * Kiri` is very impressed by bynw's mindrip
[17:43:27] * Kelos_al-Hazar places the frozen tigershark back in the freezer, drops the lid, removes his gloves, then dusts his hands off in satisfaction
[17:43:29] <@Shiral> So am I, Bynw
[17:43:39] * KK is very impressed by the frozen tigershark.
[17:43:56] * Kiri` wonders if tigershark tastes good...
[17:44:01] <Kiri`> unfrozen of course
[17:44:07] * Kelos_al-Hazar shuffles his feet. "Aw...shucks."
[17:44:09] <Rambart20> hey melissa or KK or who ever how would you describe what Cassan actually looks like
[17:44:17] <@Shiral> Otherwise you have a Sharkcicle
[17:44:23] <Rambart20> what wouyld the scenery look like
[17:44:33] <@KK> Sort of like Northern Ireland.
[17:44:34] <@Shiral> Cold and windblown? <G>
[17:44:41] <@KK> In parts.
[17:44:43] <@KK> At parts of the year.
[17:44:47] <@Shiral> Rocks.....lotsa rocks along the coats
[17:44:49] <@Shiral> coast
[17:44:54] <Rambart20> dreary year round
[17:44:56] <Kiri`> brb legs have lost feeling.
[17:45:09] <@Shiral> Well, not ALL year round. Summer could be very nice
[17:45:14] <@KK> No, it can actually be quite warm--oppressively so.
[17:45:23] <@Shiral> But bring your warmies in the wintertime
[17:45:32] <Rambart20> okay
[17:45:43] <@KK> When I describe hot days, it's from personal experience. England can be quite yucky in the summer--and sticky.
[17:45:51] <Rambart20> what is Cassan's capital... Ballmar?
[17:46:04] <@KK> Ireland has very fine summers--rarely really hot or humid.
[17:46:04] <Rambart20> Ballymar
[17:46:17] <the_Duck> its amazing how such a low maximum temperature can be so horrible in england
[17:46:24] <Rambart20> I hate humidity with a passion
[17:46:35] * Shiral nods in agreement
[17:46:47] * Jessie thinks Bart shouldn't consider a visit to Missouri then
[17:46:50] <Richenda> we have lots of it, but right now are weather is beautiful, its to bad i can't enjoy it
[17:46:51] * Kiri` agrees
[17:47:04] <Rambart20> I have been through missouri
[17:47:11] <@KK> Yep, I did my share of hot and humid when I was growing up in Florida; got it out of my system. Actually, used up my quota for this life. I no longer do "hot" unless I have to.
[17:47:12] <@Shiral> So, what would Mearan weather be like?
[17:47:13] <Kiri`> n illinois isnt much diffeeent.. - i htin te hat in missouri is drier.
[17:47:26] <Rambart20> not as bad as Louisiana
[17:47:51] <the_Duck> so katherine my plan to abandon you in the great sandy desert in the middle of summer is a no goer?
[17:48:01] <@Shiral> 'Fraid so, Donald!
[17:48:06] * Rambart20 snickers
[17:48:06] <@KK> Mearan weather would be more like the Galway coast, and that part of Ireland.
[17:48:10] * Kiri` giggles
[17:48:27] <the_Duck> c'mon it'll be fun, only a measly 130 degrees or so :)
[17:48:29] * Kelos_al-Hazar didn't know KK was a (lady) raised in the South... :)
[17:48:30] <@Shiral> Which is....?
[17:48:35] <Kiri`> is it humid?
[17:48:50] <@KK> Donald, I don't think I want to know about a place that has Johnny Jump-up spiders!
[17:48:55] * Kiri` doesn't know many humid deserts.
[17:49:03] <@Bynw> Florida is NOT "The South"
[17:49:05] <Kiri`> has what? !
[17:49:11] <Richenda> have any snakes got in your house yet duck
[17:49:13] *** Joins: larae 
[17:49:19] <Rambart20> louisiana is the south
[17:49:25] <the_Duck> someone has been pulling your leg
[17:49:30] <Richenda> KY is THE SOUTH
[17:49:37] <@KK> Florida is "The South"--but the Miami area really isn't; more like New York. :-)
[17:49:40] <@Jessie> hello larae --
[17:49:41] <the_Duck> the bigger the spider - the more harmless it is
[17:49:42] * Kiri` has heard of som terrible dangerous spider in Oz..
[17:49:43] <Kelos_al-Hazar> It is part of the Southern US...but you're right...it's mostly Snowbirds now...
[17:49:53] <Richenda> true, dick
[17:49:54] <@Jessie> Larae: good to see you again
[17:49:55] <Richenda> duck
[17:49:56] <larae> hello jessie
[17:50:03] <Kiri`> duke *wink*
[17:50:10] <@Bynw> Hiyas larae
[17:50:19] <Kiri`> Hi! larae
[17:50:22] <Kelos_al-Hazar> KK: Ever heard the acronym GRITS?
[17:50:23] * Kiri` pours a round of Fianna wine for everyone
[17:50:25] <the_Duck> snakes in my house? that'd be a nice farewell to the new landlords
[17:50:33] * Tika is a GRITS :)
[17:50:42] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Quite true. :)
[17:50:45] <Richenda> there once was one in my house
[17:50:48] <@KK> GRITS is an acronym?
[17:50:51] <Rambart20> howdy larae! from the cornfields of Iowa
[17:50:54] <@Tika> and no, that's not bad usage of the language either ;)
[17:51:00] <Kiri`> yeah. no that i can recall what it's for at the moment.
[17:51:04] *** Quits: madeleine (QUIT: User exited)
[17:51:09] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Girl Raised In The South
[17:51:15] <larae> just returned from church and little house clean-up
[17:51:35] <@KK> Looks probable to me, Kelos.
[17:51:37] <Kiri`> ray - other window..
[17:51:42] <Rambart20> oh I thought was the stuff that tastes like cooked sand
[17:51:58] <@Jessie> Larae: have a question -- jump in [KK=Katherine Kurtz]
[17:51:59] <@KK> Ah, but buttered grits are divine....
[17:52:00] <@Bynw> LOL
[17:52:05] <Richenda> anyone have spaghetti for dinner?
[17:52:11] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Shoot, Bart...you haven't had good grits, then... Somebody did them wrong.
[17:52:27] <@Tika> actually I was traumatized with plain grits as a youngster... can't stand 'em
[17:52:31] <Rambart20> well I will have to try them again
[17:52:32] <Gamgee> richenda: not me.... I just ordered Mexican.....
[17:52:40] <Richenda> i HATE grits
[17:52:51] <Golux> Had spaghetti for dinner last night, with Kiri`s ex!
[17:52:54] <Kiri`> i like them with cinnamon.. no butter.
[17:52:57] <Rambart20> I think the last time I ate them was ona military mess hall
[17:52:58] <Richenda> yummy
[17:53:23] <@Shiral> Gotta go folks, Sorry. I'll be back if i can
[17:53:23] <@KK> Hominy is really good, too, with cheese melted on top. They look like giant corn kernels--and I hate corn!--but I really like hominy.
[17:53:27] *** Parts: Shiral
[17:53:28] <larae> after the quest for st. camber exactly what book comes next?
[17:53:30] <Richenda> bye
[17:53:43] <@KK> King Kelson's Bride.
[17:53:58] <larae> thought so
[17:54:16] <Richenda> great book
[17:54:25] <Dennis> I can't help but think it would be neat if Albin ended up in the Church anyway.
[17:54:40] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Quite the excellent book, too...
[17:54:45] <Richenda> KK, you do such a good job writing and i can't believe that i am REALLY talking to YOU right now
[17:54:50] <@KK> Well, there've been Haldane bishops before.... :-)
[17:54:58] *** Joins: JastaElf

[17:55:14] <Gamgee> Hello to everyone I have yet to say "HI" too
[17:55:15] <JastaElf> KK! Hi! :-)

[17:55:19] <Rambart20> howdy Jasta!
[17:55:23] <@Jessie> hello Jasta ;-)
[17:55:27] <the_Duck> actually it's one of those clever fake kk's that the mearan sunday herald has been warning people about
[17:55:27] <the_Duck> :)
[17:55:33] <JastaElf> Hee hee hee, Duck!
[17:55:35] <Dennis> Archbishop Jashan is probably my favorite character from Codex that hasn't appaered in a regular Deryni book. :)
[17:55:52] * Kiri` giggles
[17:56:05] * Rambart20 snickers
[17:56:07] <@KK> He <almost> appears in the first Childe Morgan book; but it's just past his time.
[17:56:26] <Richenda> hint hint
[17:56:34] <JastaElf> :-)
[17:56:37] <Kelos_al-Hazar> KK: Underline command is Ctrl-U<text>Ctrl-U :)
[17:56:41] <Dennis> Well, I'm glad he rates a mention. This is my first time in the chat BTW, though I've posted to the NG. Hello.
[17:56:57] <@KK> Ah, same as Word.
[17:57:01] <JastaElf> Hi Dennis! Welcome to the family!
[17:57:04] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Quite. :)
[17:57:09] <Dennis> Thanks. :)
[17:57:10] <Richenda> i never make it on sundays
[17:57:10] <Rambart20> howdy Dennis!
[17:57:24] <JastaElf> never say never, Richenda, you're here now... :-)
[17:57:26] <Rambart20> we are not that bad dennis
[17:57:31] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Can't do italics, tho...more's the pity.
[17:57:34] <Richenda> i know, and very lucky i made it
[17:57:50] <Dennis> I've survived Usenet. This is probably much nicer. :)
[17:57:54] <JastaElf> me too. STILL at work... :-(
[17:57:54] <Richenda> little sis had a 106.5 fever then it went to 104 and now is down
[17:58:03] <Kelos_al-Hazar> I'll post the transcript once I return from church...
[17:58:09] <@Jessie> bummer Jasta
[17:58:15] <JastaElf> So what's everyone discussing?
[17:58:15] <Kelos_al-Hazar> 106.5 is incredibly dangerous. :(
[17:58:16] <@KK> Well, I know it's a bit of an awkward time for you United Statians, but it's already nearly midnight here.
[17:58:29] <larae> ?. is the book of Childe Morgan about Morgan etc. or his children?
[17:58:32] <Richenda> yes, i know and i had to take care of her
[17:58:35] <Kiri`> hmm awkward?
[17:58:41] <Kiri`> it's 4pm.
[17:58:50] <JastaElf> Not in Ireland it isn't... :-)
[17:58:53] <Rambart20> almost six here
[17:58:53] <the_Duck> breakfast time
[17:58:56] <@KK> The first Childe Morgan, In the King's Service, is pre-Morgan.

[18:02:17] <@KK> Oh, the back of beyond, eh?
[18:02:19] * Rambart20 chuckles

[18:02:50] <the_Duck> rahter past a place
[18:02:58] <JastaElf> where herds of wild macrories can be seen grazing nearby?
[18:03:00] <Rambart20> rahter?

[18:03:03] <the_Duck> nearby there is a lake jerusha

[18:03:16] <@KK> And what will you be doing, and will you have electricity so you can talk to us while you're out there?
[18:03:22] <Kiri`> sound like a nice place
[18:03:30] * the_Duck laughs
[18:03:40] <the_Duck> no electricity, no people, no roads
[18:03:50] <JastaElf> lots of digging going on, tho...

[18:06:54] <Gamgee> Duck: you don't throw rocks at snakes! You jump at them with knife in hand screaming "Snack time!"
[18:07:03] <the_Duck> they are agressive and chase people hundreds of metres
[18:07:03] <JastaElf> LOL, Gamgee! :-)

[18:08:58] <@Bynw> #Deryni_Destinations is currently the most populated channel on the Network :-)
[18:09:02] <@KK> Hello, your Highness.
[18:09:04] <JastaElf> :-) we win!
[18:09:04] * Shiral hands Jast asome Brie
[18:09:13] * JastaElf takes the brie happily...
[18:09:18] <Princess_E> What did you win
[18:09:27] <JastaElf> we win being most populated. :-)
[18:09:40] <Princess_E> in what
[18:09:41] <JastaElf> We are the Deryni... you will be assimilated....
[18:09:57] <Kiri`> shiral - nope just those attack ones..
[18:09:58] <Princess_E> oh watever that means
[18:09:58] <@KK> And this is just a pretty much average turnout for a Sunday. Actually, I've seen us more crowded.
[18:10:13] <JastaElf> True enough...
[18:10:24] <@Shiral> Well, there IS a Custodes Knight in TBP who goes by the name of Borg, I noticed. <G>
[18:10:31] <@Shiral> Was that accidental, KK?
[18:10:31] <JastaElf> LOL!!
[18:10:48] <JastaElf> Sir Bjorn of Borg... you WILL play tennis with him.... ;-)
[18:10:54] <@Shiral> Now the Borg who assimilated the Custodes would be aliens I'd REALLY want to avoid!
[18:10:57] <Princess_E> LOLabout what
[18:10:59] <the_Duck> there was movement at d.destination for the word had gone around that the kurtz from old regret had gotten away
[18:11:07] <Richenda> people love to do that to me here
[18:11:10] <Kiri`> huh?
[18:11:22] <JastaElf> uhh, Duck -- huh? :-)
[18:11:39] <the_Duck> its the first line of a poem called the man from snowy river
[18:11:39] <Richenda> not here here, at this office
[18:11:44] <JastaElf> Oh!
[18:11:45] <the_Duck> by banjo patterson
[18:11:46] <Princess_E> DUcky you should look at the photos
[18:11:55] <the_Duck> i was adapting it to deryni land
[18:11:59] <JastaElf> :-)
[18:12:19] <@KK> I guessed that. ;-)
[18:12:26] <@Shiral> KK, how's the Dear Childe going this week?
[18:12:36] <the_Duck> the poem is about the hunt for a valued stallion that runs off to join the wild brumbies
[18:12:40] <@KK> Didn't drown any kids.
[18:12:44] <Princess_E> KKwhat time is it in your land
[18:12:47] <@Shiral> This is good, I think. <G>
[18:12:55] <@Shiral> SSH, ELSA!!!
[18:12:58] <Richenda> ever seen the man from snowy river, duck
[18:12:59] <@KK> Am shepherding two C members to sneak in and have a look at Sief's body.
[18:13:02] * JastaElf would like to join the wild brumbies about now....
[18:13:15] <@Shiral> Which is in Rhemuth, I assume?
[18:13:27] <Princess_E> SSH what
[18:13:31] <@KK> Else, it's a quarter past midnight in Ireland.
[18:13:34] <@Shiral> Remind KK of the hour!
[18:13:36] <@Jessie> the movie made from the poem the_Duck
[18:13:41] <@Shiral> She might run away
[18:13:53] <JastaElf> to join the wild brumbies? :-)
[18:13:59] <great_hooded_one> *brumbies*???
[18:14:00] <@KK> I'll stay a bit longer, but not too much longr.
[18:14:07] <@Shiral> Yes. ANd then we'd NEVER get her back!
[18:14:09] <JastaElf> wild horsies, I think...
[18:14:10] <@KK> Aussies.
[18:14:12] <the_Duck> wild horses
[18:14:17] <@Shiral> Horse-ducks?
[18:14:21] <JastaElf> ooo...
[18:14:29] <@Jessie> Katherine: who in the castle is helping the 2 CC members sneak in?
[18:14:31] <@Shiral> Horses with Duck wings?
[18:14:32] <JastaElf> they do not so much fly as gallop....
[18:14:35] <@KK> Wild horses? That's right.
[18:14:49] <@KK> Nobody. They don't need help.
[18:14:59] <@Shiral> It's a stealth operation.
[18:15:13] <JastaElf> "we're from the CC. We're here to help you. No, really!"
[18:15:21] <@KK> Seisyll Arilan has access. Besides, the body lies in state in a side chapel at the cathedral, then is interred in the crypt below.
[18:15:24] <@Shiral> Look at the light, please.....
[18:15:28] <@Jessie> Why did their first attempt fail?
[18:15:39] <JastaElf> LOL, Shiral...
[18:15:44] <@KK> They gt interrupted by monks.
[18:15:50] <@Jessie> silly monks
[18:15:52] <JastaElf> I hate it when that happens... :-)
[18:15:56] <@Shiral> Monks in a cathedral, who'd a thunk it?
[18:16:01] <JastaElf> darn... :-)
[18:16:02] <@KK> They're changing shifts to pray beside Sief's body.
[18:16:03] <Kiri`> silly python monks?
[18:16:06] <Dennis> *laugh*
[18:16:13] <the_Duck> with lovely red uniforms
[18:16:23] <JastaElf> Ahh, make 'em fall asleep and remember nothing. Duncan does it all the time. :-)
[18:16:26] * Jessie imagines a great horn sounding signaling end of prayer shift
[18:16:35] <JastaElf> :-) punch out on the clock...
[18:16:42] <@Shiral> That would wake all the sleeping guys, for sure!\
[18:16:56] <@KK> They do that with the first pair; it's too hard to do with the ones who come to relieve them.
[18:17:05] <Princess_E> Mom whats me to tellall of you were not going to be in for the next 2 weeks
[18:17:19] * JastaElf wishes she could do that -- make people fall asleep and forget...
[18:17:28] <Richenda> me too
[18:17:30] <JastaElf> we'll miss you, Elsa!
[18:17:32] * Jessie falls asleep and forgets all the time
[18:17:33] <@Shiral> Particularly boss-type people, Jasta?
[18:17:35] <@KK> Yes, that would be a useful talent.
[18:17:39] * JastaElf looks innocent...
[18:17:53] <larae> very much so
[18:17:55] <Gamgee> we know you too well Jasta!
[18:17:56] <Princess_E> ray me and mom
[18:17:58] <@Shiral> Really useful. It woudl be hard to resist the temptation to use it

[18:18:07] <@Jessie> We will miss you Princess_E and your Mom
[18:18:19] <JastaElf> and Hood too
[18:18:21] <@Shiral> And Great Hooded One. Vacation time?
[18:18:28] <Gamgee> that inocent look will never work.
[18:18:30] <Kiri`> Stern Grove Elsa?
[18:18:35] <great_hooded_one> no, stern grove fest.
[18:18:35] <JastaElf> I can try. :-)
[18:18:45] * JastaElf attempts to look sweet and harmless
[18:18:46] <Princess_E> Yup are you coning TTT
[18:18:56] <@Shiral> "You will forget that you came in on me while I was chatting!"
[18:18:57] <Richenda> i don't want to go on vacation this year
[18:19:01] <JastaElf> :-)
[18:19:14] <@Shiral> "But you will forget that I gave you these instructions, too!"
[18:19:14] <the_Duck> hooded one isn't allowed vacation - its against some rule or old charter
[18:19:17] * Kiri` grins at jasta.. nice try ;)
[18:19:20] <JastaElf> "You will forget that you told us to work uncompensated weekends!"
[18:19:32] <JastaElf> darn, Kiri's got my number too. :-)
[18:19:43] <@Shiral> Tee hee! Really, uncompensated? That's the unkindest cut!
[18:20:00] <Gamgee> jasta: everyone has your number...... it's 42
[18:20:11] <Richenda> LOL
[18:20:11] <JastaElf> you bet. 10 hour days and mandatory weekends, and no overtime past 40 hours. 
[18:20:19] <JastaElf> Yup, Sam, that's it! :-)
[18:20:28] <@Shiral> Really, that's slave driving!
[18:20:30] <Richenda> i lost it
[18:20:39] <Kiri`> jasta - new job time?
[18:20:41] <Dennis> Ick, that's horrible.
[18:20:46] <JastaElf> AND, hubby and son got to go groom MY yearling, and I couldn't go! :-(
[18:20:53] * JastaElf whines some more... ;-)
[18:20:55] <@Shiral> How long will this marathon last?
[18:21:02] <JastaElf> til the project ships.
[18:21:06] <JastaElf> dunno when that is...
[18:21:07] <@KK> Until they ship product?
[18:21:09] * Shiral hastily hands Jasta the Fianna Red
[18:21:14] <@Tika> until morale improves, Shiral!
[18:21:16] <JastaElf> yup, 'fraid so.
[18:21:16] <@Tika> LOL
[18:21:22] <Dennis> Is it at least a good product, I hope?
[18:21:24] <JastaElf> Beatings will continue...
[18:21:25] * Kiri` steps onto the transfer portal and is trampled by a horde of caradots....
[18:21:30] <JastaElf> Ouch!
[18:21:32] <@Shiral> The floggings will continue until morale improves!

[18:22:42] <Dennis> Well, that's something at least. Not much, but.... Here's hoping it finishes soon, Jasta.
[18:22:57] * JastaElf raises a cup of Fianna BLUE to Dennis and echoes his toast!

[18:23:21] <@KK> On another note entirely, just before I check out--has anyone seen a sweet little film called The Other Sister?

[18:25:35] * JastaElf unwraps an orange tootsie roll pop...
[18:25:38] <Kiri`> woud yo like me to chain him down too? I kno where he keeps the chains.. )
[18:25:40] <Kiri`> =)
[18:25:45] <@KK> Nope. Saw it on satellite last night. Diane Keaton. The Other Sister is the youngest of three, in a wealthy family, retarded, sort of 16-17ish, gets her own apartment, falls in love with a sweet retarded boy who has a passion for marching bands.... It's hard to describe. But it's a definite feel-good sort of film. I highly recommend it.
[18:25:52] <Golux> Hey Shiral, Kiri` and Duck-have you looked at http://photomail.photoworks.com/sharing/album.asp?Key=2837722806390609 ?
[18:26:05] <the_Duck> so princess e likes powerpuff girl's videos hmm
[18:26:06] <@Shiral> Nope, not yet GOlux
[18:26:07] <JastaElf> ooo, sounds like a many-kleenex movie from MY pov... :-)
[18:26:16] <the_Duck> i was trying to look at it just now
[18:26:27] <Golux> Save the link, I need ideas on the captions
[18:26:45] <@Shiral> Considering the family history of photos from Raymond, I'm afraid to look, Eileen!
[18:26:51] <JastaElf> ooo, nice pix!
[18:26:53] <great_hooded_one> the worst part about her watching the video is she asks *me* wahts going on
[18:26:54] <@KK> Seek it out. You'll love it.
[18:27:01] <JastaElf> I think I will, KK!
[18:27:03] <@KK> It's tears of joy.
[18:27:19] <JastaElf> :-)
[18:27:25] <JastaElf> like when Brian graduated...
[18:27:29] <Dennis> Interesting cast, according to IMDB.
[18:27:35] * Kiri` hugs ray
[18:27:41] <great_hooded_one> ohh... other sister... heard of it when it came out about 2 years ago
[18:27:59] <great_hooded_one> never saw it tho
[18:28:12] <@KK> Make the effort and rent it. You won't be sorry.
[18:28:35] <JastaElf> If I ever get home to be near my VCR... :-) LOL!

[18:28:54] <Richenda> long drive but....
[18:28:55] <@Shiral> Forget the VCR, Jasta. Hit those keys!
[18:29:02] <@KK> On that note, I think I'd better head off to bed--and Melissa's story, at least for a few pages.
[18:29:05] <JastaElf> :-)
[18:29:14] * Shiral collapses nervously all over again
[18:29:17] <@Jessie> Good evening Katherine

[18:30:00] <JastaElf> :-) Just wait, KK. we'll get her calmed down.
[18:30:02] <@Shiral> Fortunately, the story just naturally divided itself into fairly short sections, KK
[18:30:09] * JastaElf breaks out the BIG bottle of Fianna Blue...
